Kinetics of rapid electrode reactions. Part 3. - Electron exchange reactions

Abstract

The rates of a number of electron exchange reactions at mercury and other noble metal electrodes have been measured. Some interpretation of the rates of such reactions in terms of mechanism has been made; structural change in the reactant accompanying the electron transfer, and any hindrance to the close approach of the reactant ions to the electrode surface, appear to be the most important factors limiting the rates of these reactions.
